Is this a scam? Listed as 5800x3d, but the sticker says it’s 5800x for 100 usd

The seal doesn’t match with 5800X3D’s clock speeds (4.5 GHz boost 3.4 GHz base).
Also the 5800X3D was released in 2022 and the CPU IHS says 2020.
These are two different boxes in the 4 pictures. One is clearly a 5800x, not an X3D version. And there is a front picture of an x3D box.
But the processor picture is most evident. This is not an x3D variant. And it’s obvious that the image was manipulated to delete the top area where the actual SKU model is written.
If the pictured box is real, and unopened, my guess is that this is a 5800x
Forgot to mention that it’s brand new
just ask for a better CPU picture. tjibk6is very difficult to fake the CPU itself
return it
tbh $100 (atleast in my region) is what you get a brand new 5600 OEM for, so it’s still a good deal. But yes it’s not 5800x3d.
you posted pictures of 2 completely different CPU boxes
OPN for x3D is 100-100000651WOF so I hope that helps. from the pics I wouldn’t trust the seller.
Why the background change in 3rd picture?
even if its not a 5800x for a 100$ is a pretty good deal
First two images show the box of a 5800x (without the 3d cache)
Third image shows a different box with a different background, possibly from a 5800x3d
Fourth image might be the same box from the first images. Looks like the image has been tempered with, because the processor model on the top is missing and the other values don’t seem right. E.g. the 2020 AMD writing, when the 5800x3d was released in 2022.
TL;DR: Not trustworthy!
Best case you’ll be getting a 5800x without 3d cache, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Something that is high in demand still to this day and is listed for less than half its going used price is either a charity sale or a scam. I knew this when I was around 14.
The way this is listed makes it sound like a scam. 1. the price is too low. 2. the images are of two different boxes
